Okay, so let’s say my cable tv goes out and I don’t have an hd antenna. could I plug this into the usb port of my flat screen to get local broadcasting, or does this require a process (CPU).
I want something that will let me indulge my paranoia and watch the output of my security cameras on my TV! So, either get something that does that on here, or get a network broadcast to set up cameras around my yard. Y’know, so I can be prepared for when the zombies attack.
I was ready to jump on this but saw all the additional stuff in the package photo. I hoped it was just the USB adapter and remote. that would have been cool.
…you could just hook up the included antenna to your TV and throw out the usb stick.(assuming your tv has a tuner, which if it was made in the last 5 years it better)
Looks like a good candidate for a PVR. Hmmm, will it run in Linux? I have an XBMC box coming together. I also wonder how it will run in an Atom 330. 1.6 GHz, dual core with hyperthreading… will it take advantage of multiple cores, or does it need a single, muscular processor?
